Whats on your desktop?

That's not your Powerbook, is it?

On my desktop, there's a lot of clutter, plus an iMac, a couple external drives, a lamp, some books...

Simple, I used to have a zillion mods, in the end I got rid of all of em since all they do is slowing your computer down imo ... They can be fun to look at tho, but I for one do not find it life-saving to know what weather it is in Dubai, Albuquerque and the rest of the world

My simple, boring desktop

Edit: Maybe a little explanation, yes, I do have a load of junk, but I made a folder I called Temp and it's in the sidebar of any new window I open, so I can go there instantly. All the junk is in there. All my downloads get sorted in different folders through the application so they don't clutter the box and I have to go searching for something in particular. Basically everything I have is sorted almost instantly, I'm that boring. Nah, I just like a clean desktop, why I keep my desk relatively clean, and my room, and have this annoying twitch to clean up a bit at my girlfriends house when I'm there ...

You should get some ram Anarchy because none of the gui elements slow down my machine in the least. And I prefer having the weather and time up in the left-hand corner because a) it's where I am b) it's where my family lives and it's nice to know the time and weather there at a glance c) it's where I headed at the end of the week on business.

I also prefer a clean desktop, but not at the cost of not having what I want out there, when I want it and how I want it.

Yeah, why?

Altho, my other computers (in my sig) have the exact same desktop background.

Funny, that's not what he meant.

Ah, in that case. If I want something I just use a very extensive bookmarks bar

I have a gig ram atm, so I doubt that's a problem. No matter how you look at it tho, those thingies eat up power either way I figured, and I don't want to lose any power whatsoever cause it freaks me out constantly that I'm faster than my Mac. Which is why I'll be getting a G5 soon, hopefully it will be on par with the speed I do things ... I'm sure this is an annoyance most Mac users have, no matter how you look at it, Mac OS X has a slow GUI, nice, smooth, but slow. When PC users click something, they get it instantly (I _know_ there are exceptions).

Funny... everyone has such nice clean desktops...

Mine has defult backgrounds and a BILLION folders/files... Basically it's a mess like my real desk... and floor... etc...

I think most of the ppl move the whole Desktop content to another folder and then take a screenshot.
I wish I could clean my place like this once I get visitors..
